GPIO Modes
6.2.1
GPIO Mode 0: Input
When a GPIO pin is put into GPIO Mode 0 it is configured to accept external trigger signals. See
Serial Communication
.
6.2.2
GPIO Mode 1: Output
When a GPIO pin is put into GPIO Mode 1 it is configured to send output signals.
Do
not
connect power to a pin configured as an output (effectively
connecting two outputs to each other). Doing so can cause damage to
camera electronics.
6.2.3
GPIO Mode 2: Asynchronous (External) Trigger
When a GPIO pin is put into GPIO Mode 2, and an external trigger mode is enabled (which disables isochronous data
transmission), the camera can be asynchronously triggered to grab an image by sending a voltage transition to the pin.
See
Asynchronous Triggering
.
6.2.4
GPIO Mode 3: Strobe
A GPIO pin in GPIO Mode 3 outputs a voltage pulse of fixed delay, either relative to the start of integration (default) or
relative to the time of an asynchronous trigger. A GPIO pin in this mode can be configured to output a variable strobe
pattern. See
Programmable Strobe Output
.
6.2.5
GPIO Mode 4: Pulse Width Modulation (PWM)
When a GPIO pin is set to GPIO Mode 4, the pin outputs a specified number of pulses with programmable high and low
duration. See
Pulse Width Modulation (PWM)
.
